So what is NTUC Eldercare Day Care Centre?

Yes it is basically a place catering to the needs of frail for elderly/ seniors, the day care centre provides a mix of holistic and purposeful activities and programmes that cater to their mental, physical and social well-being. This include: Maintainance rehabilitation exercise; recreation/leisure activities such as arts and crafts, bingo, karaoke, etc; health checks talks and workshop; social outings; physiotherapy assessment and treatment; festive or special event celebrations; three meals daily including lunch and two teas; and daily transportation services.

Conscious of the implications of an ageing population on the healthcare services front, the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) set up NTUC Eldercare Co-operative Ltd since 1997 to provide a range of holistic eldercare services at a quality and affordable level for those needing help in caring for their dependants.

There is a simple calendar placed at the centre for the elderly to read to keep track of the current date and day.

Treating everyone there like a big family together!

Bloggers had a guided tour around the vicinty of the day care centre.

This is their Memories Lounge. Nicely decorated with some ot the items that our parent may used in the past. This may also help in communicating and understand when talking to the elderly.

The charcoal stove which my granny have last time.
Still remember last time people used to drink coffee from the milk tins?

Oh!!! What is this?

Yes it is a old sewing machine!!! My mum still keep one of this at home!!!

This is actually a baby chair!!! I sat on this when I was young too.

Some exercise equipments.

Physiotherapy assessment and treatment are available at the centres for the convenience of both the clients and residents of neighbouring constituencies who are discharged from hospitals but require continuous rehabilitation.

This service is designed to improve, if not maintain, the physical condition of elderly who are suffering from stroke, Parkinson’s Disease, Osteoarthritis (bone aches) and multiple falls.

Clean and neat environment.

Art & Craft works done by the elderly there.

I missed my art and craft lesson during school! 

Not bad right, elderly also can learn some art and craft there.

Now who say staying at the Day Care Centre is boring or not fun?

Over at NTUC Eldercare Centre, elderly also get to play some games together.

With such a great environment, I'm pretty sure all the elderly will enjoy their stay here.
